Earlier I wrote in another forum that I wanted to show that a classic piece of meat could be cured for under a £1.00. I don't know if any of the guys here were following that thread but just in case I thought I might tell you that I finished

. it's been a bit longer than I intended but here is the completed Product. I took the photos a day or so ago and have since been enjoying the rewards

: Finished Guanciale Click on the link amd go to page two at the bottom.

I am kinda pleased with myself on this one, because we have indeed got a beautiful piece of meat for under 1 pound.

One of the cheeks I have cut and frozen and the other will go into at least a half dozen meals, even today I had it fried and served at lunch with many other bits.

Try it it's easy.

All the best

Nope just the pig bit really, I'm a muslim we're not allowed to eat it. Seeing as we're talking pig any ideas on non-pork bacon, could you make beef bacon for example?

I know that Tahir, Just Kidding You know, I have spent many years in Asia and just recently in Sri Lanka. There you can get none pork just about everything. Only it's never as nice to be honest. I will rack my brains for you to remember some of the Recipes. I am kind of sorry you can't try the Guanciale but I respect your choice.

Me too to be honest. I'm trying to get a Saturday clear to start on sausagemaking so any non pork recipes would be appreciated. I hope to try my hand at bresaola too at some stage.

You can make turkey bacon. I guess it is much the same way as pork

I don't see why you couldn't use a lot of these preserving techniques on breast of lamb, and it's cheap enough that it wouldn't be a financial disaster if it went wrong/you didn't like it.
